Notes:

1. How to change to a new color

Work the stitch with the first color, but do not complete the stitch. You will have 2 loops remain on the hook. Drop first color and draw through the loops on the hook new color and complete the stitch

2. Crochet over your yarn ends – by crocheting over them as you go, you’ll reduce the number of ends to weave in.

Special Stitches:

Standing DC

1. Make a slip knot.
2. YO, holding loop on hook, insert hook in specified stitch (space).
3. YO and pull up a loop (you have 3 loops on hook).
4. [YO and draw through 2 loops on hook] twice.
